Gauge Buyer Interest Before You Commit
Not ready to sell? Not sure if the timing is right? Iconic’s Private Interest Check lets you test the market anonymously - no engagement required, no obligation, no risk.
Anonymous
Your business identity stays hidden. Buyers only see high-level details - industry, revenue range, and geography - nothing that identifies you.
No Commitment
You’re not signing an engagement letter. This is a free signal check before you decide anything.
Real Buyer Signals
Iconic’s buyer network is active and qualified. The inquiries you receive are from serious acquirers, not tire-kickers.
How the Private Interest Check Works
Three steps. No paperwork. No obligation.
Tell us about your business
Complete a brief, confidential intake with Iconic. You share revenue, industry, geography, and what you’re looking for. Nothing identifying leaves our hands without your approval.
Iconic shares your profile - anonymously
Your Iconic advisor creates a blind profile and shares it with qualified buyers in our network. Your identity, your team, and your customers never come up. Buyers respond to what the business is, not who you are.
See who’s interested - then decide
We report back with buyer inquiry signals: how many responded, what profile of buyer, and at what valuation range. From there, you decide whether to move forward into a formal Iconic engagement - or not. Completely your call.
This Is For Owners Who...
Are curious, not committed
You're open to the idea of selling but not ready to sign an engagement letter. This lets you find out if there's real demand before making any decision.
Want leverage before they engage
Knowing buyers are already interested changes the negotiation dynamic. Enter a formal sale process from a position of strength, not uncertainty.
Value their privacy above all
You can't afford for employees, customers, or competitors to find out you're exploring a sale. The Private Interest Check stays completely off the record.
Have been burned before
You listed with a broker, nothing happened, and you don't want to repeat that experience. This is how you validate interest before committing time and resources.
Aren't sure about timing
The business is performing well but you don't know if now is the right time. Buyer response data gives you a real market signal to inform your decision.
Just want a number
You're not selling today, but you want to know what serious buyers would actually pay. This gets you close to a real answer, not a calculator estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you share with buyers?
We share a blind profile that includes industry, revenue range, EBITDA range, geography (state or region), and a brief description of the business model. We never share your company name, owner name, website, customer list, or any identifying information without your explicit approval.
Who are the buyers in Iconic's network?
Iconic works exclusively with qualified acquirers - individual owner-operators, family offices, private equity groups, and strategic buyers. All buyers have signed NDAs and are vetted before receiving any profile.
Is this really free?
Yes. The Private Interest Check has no fee. If you decide to move into a formal engagement with Iconic as your sell-side advisor, that's when standard advisory fees apply.
What happens if I want to move forward after seeing buyer interest?
You'd work with an Iconic Advisor to formally represent your business in a full sales process - including a CIM, structured buyer outreach, LOI management, and deal closing support. The Private Interest Check often becomes the starting point for a successful sale.
Can I back out at any time?
Absolutely. You can pause or stop the Private Interest Check at any time. There's no lock-in and no penalty.
